Despite the boom and the government's efforts to increase access in rural areas, rural financial markets have shrunk in relative terms. As a result, access to finance by micro, small, and medium-size enterprises and marginal, small, and medium-size farmers - the ""missing middle"" - remains limited, which is significant because these groups are the engines of growth in rural Bangladesh in terms of employment, contribution to GDP, and prospects for future growth.Directions in development (Washington, D.C.)Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Finance.World Bank e-Library.Rural creditBangladeshAgricultural creditBangladeshBanks and bankingBangladeshFinancial institutionsBangladeshRural industriesBangladeshRural creditAgricultural creditBanks and bankingFinancial institutionsRural industries332.7/1095492Ferrari Aurora1628954DLCDLCYDXBTCTABAKERYDXCPDLCBOOK9910824329803321Increasing access to rural finance in Bangladesh3999621UNINA
